“An aside on the question of pleasure. The subject didn't really get much pleasure from all this fornicating she was doing. The compulsion wasn't to feel good, it was to enjoy the feeling of making someone want her, of making someone else feel good. Frequency of condition was high, in fact constant.” MenSexRelationshipsConfidenceGirls Book:Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning Source: Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning
“When the subject was 14, late in the year of 1980, she began to pursue male attention, like the cartoon cat who turns around and begins to chase the dog. From there on out, her pursuit was dedicated, the subject was never without a boyfriend, or several. She seemed to need to stack them, like cordwood, for winter. Sexual activity was ongoing, occasionally fervent, but usually desultory, or mechanical, or dutiful. What this study is attempting to ascertain is why. Why did she do this?” MenSexWomenRelationshipsChildhoodSexualityMaturity Book:Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning Source: Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning
